After Meng Ying calmed down, she began to talk to Jianshu again. "Shushu, let me tell you, Mingjing is an exceptional student. He skipped grades and joined the army at the age of 18 after graduating from the country's top military academy with distinction. He's completed many missions in recent years and is only 24 years old, but he's already a battalion commander, much more capable than a 28-year-old deputy battalion commander. Plus, he graduated from a military academy, so his future is even brighter and his prospects are limitless."
As Meng Ying was talking, she couldn't help but pull someone out for comparison.
Jianshu is inevitably a bit funny.
However, the 24-year-old battalion commander is a graduate of a military academy. This cannot be described as simply excellent.
She knew that the partner Uncle Zhao found for her was excellent, but she didn't expect him to be so amazing.
Meng Ying continued, "Besides, that child is good-looking, has good character, and comes from a good family. If you were to be with him, apart from anything else, you wouldn't want to worry about his family situation at all. Your Aunt Gu is gone, and your Uncle Gu only has two children, Mingyuan and Mingjing. You know how much your Uncle Gu loves you."
Jian Shu was very clear about this. After all, Gu Zhan had sent her a lot of things over the past two years. Food, drinks, clothes, and daily necessities, all kinds of things.
At the beginning, I sent her a lot of money and bills, as if I was afraid that she would have no money to spend, but after she returned them, the next time I sent her, the things she sent would become all kinds of items.
Jianshu was a little flattered at first and felt a little embarrassed to accept it. He originally wanted to return it all, but was stopped by Zhao Mingze.
Only then did Jian Shu realize that Gu Zhan had sent her many things before, but Jian Yucheng had always accepted them at that time.
At first, he returned all the items he received, but Gu Zhan never gave up. After a long time, Jian Yucheng had no choice but to allow him to do this. After all, sending things back and forth was a waste of money and manpower.
Moreover, Gu Zhan also knew his limits. These things were not valuable to them, but were just tokens of his appreciation. Slowly, Jian Yucheng got used to it.
But just based on this, it was impossible to exchange his daughter. Jian Yucheng didn't tell Jian Shu the origins of those things, and Jian Shu didn't ask. After all, she usually ate and used very good things, so she didn't find anything special about these things.
In fact, Jian Yucheng had no prejudice against Gu Mingjing. On the contrary, from the perspective of an elder, Jian Yucheng was very satisfied with him.
But from a father's perspective, he just can't stand it no matter what. It has nothing to do with whether the man is outstanding or not. He will not stand any man who may take his daughter away.
The more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she became. But the more the father-in-law looked at his son-in-law, the angrier he became.
After learning everything from Zhao Mingze, Jianshu stopped sending things back. However, every time she received something, she would send some of her homemade food, clothes, and shoes as a small token of return.
As a result, Jianshu had to go to the post office to mail things every once in a while, but she also had to go to Gao Xue to get stamps, which was also a convenience.
"Well, Uncle Gu is very nice to me." Jian Shu nodded in agreement.
"Yes, the reason why your Uncle Zhao introduced Mingjing to you is not only because he is outstanding, but also because his family situation is simple. Besides his father, he only has one older brother, and after his brother got married, he lived far away and did not live with us. Unlike other families with a large family, some trivial matters in daily life can make people very irritated." Meng Ying said.
Meng Ying was truly satisfied with Gu Mingjing; she couldn't find any fault with him in any way. Their families were close, so marrying him was a much better option than marrying someone whose background she didn't know. So Meng Ying truly hoped they could succeed.
Jianshu also nodded in agreement in his heart. Gu Mingjing is not a good partner.
"Having a car and a house, but both parents are dead" was a popular saying for a period of time in later generations.
Not to mention having a car and a house, the need for material things is inevitable in life.
The reason why the girl said that both parents were dead was not because she was so cruel and hoped that the other party's parents would die, but because she just didn't want to deal with the complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Jian Shu was a lazy person and didn't like dealing with a large family; she found it too noisy. And with more people, conflicts arose. They might even start a fight over a clove of garlic or two scallions. The thought of it made her feel suffocated.
If I marry Gu Mingjing, all these concerns seem to disappear.
At this time, Jianshu had not yet noticed that even though the blind date had not even started, she was actually thinking about life after marriage. Her previous rejection and resistance seemed to have disappeared.
In order to make Jianshu have a good impression of Gu Mingjing, Meng Ying told her a lot of things about Gu Mingjing, including his embarrassing childhood, his high spirits in his youth, and his great achievements today.
Although Gu Mingjing didn't grow up in Beijing, their families were close, and Meng Ying knew quite a bit about him. Jian Shu knew nothing about him, simply because Jian Yucheng had deliberately kept it secret from her.
As Meng Ying described, a shadow gradually became clearer in front of Jian Shu's eyes, and the name Gu Mingjing was no longer just a symbol.
The two of them couldn't stop chatting and even had lunch together. Originally, Meng Ying wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant, but Jian Shu stopped her.
Zhao Mingze and Meng Ying are usually busy with work and don't come home often. When they finally come, she still cooks for herself.
She had no way to repay their kindness to her, but she could still cook two meals for them, which was also a token of her gratitude.
I made three dishes and a soup for lunch, but the portions were not big. People nowadays have big appetites, so they won’t be left with nothing to eat.
"Oh, if your Uncle Zhao knew that you cooked for me, he would be so envious." Meng Ying said with emotion while holding chopsticks.
"Tell Uncle Zhao to come over next time when he has time, and I will cook for you." Jian Shu said with a smile.
She didn't have any feelings about cooking, she just hated washing dishes. With the dishwasher, she didn't have to worry.
"Okay, okay, we will come here often when we are free." Meng Ying said with a smile.
After dinner, Meng Ying left. She was busy with work, and it was great that she could spare a whole morning.
"Shushu, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you when Mingjing arrives." Meng Ying said standing at the door.
"Okay, take care, auntie." Jianshu waved goodbye.
At this moment, in another distant place, a man in military uniform and with an upright posture walked towards an office.
On the way, I happened to meet a group of female soldiers from the art troupe. It was just a quick glimpse, but the stunning feeling of that moment was unforgettable.
